In this video, I’m chatting about something that’s close to my heart and an important aspect of my art practice: colour, paint and sketchbooks.

I’ll show you what’s inside my current sketchbook (spoiler: it’s full of acrylic paint and messy colour experiments), a few of the small paintings I’ve been working on and some of the places I’ve found colour inspiration. I also talk about how I’m thinking about colour, what I’m noticing, what I’m drawn to, and how I’m using my sketchbook to explore it all in a really loose and joyful way.

Whether you’re feeling stuck or just craving a bit of colour inspiration, I hope this encourages you to experiment, play and stay curious.
